Please can everyone list the best roses for their noses, with scent that wafts on the air some distance from the plant. The best I have encountered are: White Rosa rugosa, Rose buff beauty, and Rosa moschata.
For me, one of the better commercially-available roses that fits this might be PERFUME BREEZE/BRISE PARFUM (āBariseā). Its scent is very sweet and light in quality but it can travel, and the plant is healthy. Rosa moschata and Rosa brunonii can certainly waft the scent that is produced from their stamens in the morning.
I had a once-blooming rambler called āGruss an Zabernā with a strong, killer scent (though not āspiceā as stated at HelpMeFind.com) that really traveled on the air, but lost it to Rose Rosette Disease and the emergency cuttings I took didnāt survive. I later found a sprout growing near its former location and am hoping that it might somehow be an escapee or a seedling, but havenāt seen flowers yet, and might have to wait another year for any to form. It would be rather difficult to obtain again otherwise (I think that Freedom Gardens might have it for at least custom ordering).
